Support for performing artists
In the world of performing arts, professionals face unique challenges: from the pressure of performing at a high level to the constant judgment of audiences and critics. Added to this is economic uncertainty, the need to adapt to constantly changing situations and, sometimes, the need for professional reorientation. For these reasons, specialized support can help safeguard your psychological well-being and nurture personal artistic growth.

My approach
In this section, I would like to explain the core principles of my therapeutic approach - not without pointing out that it is often necessary to use technical terms due to the complexity of the subject. However, it is not necessary to understand the text completely to benefit from the therapy.
​
My therapeutic approach is based on the practical application of the principles of Gestalt Theory Psychotherapy.The focus is on the individual and their inner world, a complex network of thoughts, emotions, desires and interpersonal relationships. These "elements" influence each other through forces of attraction and repulsion and thus form a dynamic field of life in constant transformation, known as the "force field" according to Kurt Lewin.
Even if it may seem that chaos reigns in our "head", the Gestalt laws and Lewin's field concept show that an organisational process is always underway (the "tendency towards good Gestalt"). Mental states that are perceived as disorders are in fact attempts at organisation, but they become dysfunctional and cause suffering.
​
The therapeutic process aims to provide the client with a deeper awareness of the forces that shape their life space through a cognitive and somatic approach. By encouraging a process of self-regulation and reorganisation, the client learns to consciously interact with these dynamics in order to achieve a sustainable balance. In the case of difficulties with self-regulation, the therapist supports the client in identifying and exploring, through dialogue and specific exercises, those aspects of their inner world that prevent them from achieving this balance.
​
An essential element of Gestalt psychotherapy is attention to the experience of the encountered present (the moment in the here and now), which emphasises the importance of the emotionally experienced therapeutic encounter in the moment. At the same time, exploring the past facilitates an understanding of the client's present context and the roots of their suffering.
​
The therapeutic goal is to guide the client to give form and meaning to their inner experience so that they can independently derive strategies for action in their life space. The search for "solutions" thus becomes an intrapsychic process of acquiring new insights and clarifications, often described as a reorientation in the field.
In concrete terms, this means that the client is able to look at the problem from different perspectives, adopt more functional strategies for action and accept their condition in a holistic way that goes beyond cognitive understanding and also includes the psychophysical aspect.
The success of the treatment is measured not only by the client's ability to differentiate and reflect on the central aspects of his problems, but above all by his ability to activate their own psychophysical resources in order to cope autonomously with the challenges of his life. This process involves considering their needs in relation to the forces at work in their life space and emphasises the importance of an approach that combines a deep understanding of personal dynamics with concrete action for well-being and autonomy.
